Severe punishments for Browns, Falcons

Goodell actually said the advantage was not the focus? But that breaking the rule that all 32 teams adhere to was the problem. It doesn't matter if they gained an advantage or not? I am wondering where this Goodell was during Ballghazi? Maybe he got confused and meant to say, " the rules that 31 teams adhere to?"

 I'm not advocating for the Browns or Falcs. Fugg em'. Just pointing out Goodell's bromance for Mark Kraft.

He was texting the asst coach of another team about in game strategies. Plus there is a rule against electronic devices for coaches and personnel on the field. mostly for that reason in particular

Why would he text to another teams coach his own teams gameplan?

The definition of severe penalty exactly matches the penalty the Pats received in 2007. It possible they didn't find any real rule broken. It possible it is still being investigated. Maybe you are referring to a new friendship? One that started after the severe fine in 07?

For information on the teams they were playing against. I guess the coach he was contacting had played against them previously? Which would make sense if they are playing someone in your division that you would want to lose.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
